There was a video tour of the channel 7 Melbourne studios on YouTube. Does anyone remember this? I think one of the journalists made it.
Christie cooper did
On this topic, I do recall a journo based out of WIN Hobart did a studio tour video of the old Hobart HQ circa 2016. It must have been taken down as I can’t find it now.
The Sydney news desk needs to have screens put in like the Brisbane one shown. Such a big wasted studio space as well they should all relocate into smaller footprint building closer to the CBD
If you’re saying the Sydney studios need to be moved - they already did. They moved to North Sydney from Willoughby - not a hell of a long trip from the CBD as it is via Metro and trains.
Brisbane they’re waiting on the local or state government to rezone Mt Cootha so they can sell the land and move in close. I say screw them and let 'em rot.
I was referring to Brisbane stations moving to the CBD vicinity, all Sydney stations are well located. My comment re screens also referred to Sydney taking the lead from Bris
The Sydney desk does have a screen in it..
Thanks to @blackbox
The End of BCM
As seen on report of property 7News recently - with the Channel 7 tower still at full height, the top part having being removed in 2018.
Brisbane by the looks of it?
Not sure where to put this other than here?
I’ve been told that SCA got evicted out of the Launceston TV Studio building last month & they had 2 weeks to get everything out of there, so they had to rush techs down there from all over Australia.
They sold the building with a 2 year leaseback & then were going moth to month rent until they moved, which I don’t think was happening at any speed.
I don’t know what caused the eviction, might have been the fact the SCA TV assets were sold recently, so that changed the usage contract with SCA & the new building owner wants to move them on so they can do something new with the building?
You’re a bit late. It’s been discussed in detail in the Seven & Ten News (SCA) - #4708 by tx42 thread
Yeah I missed that, I can’t keep up with everything, & I was just told yesterday by one of the SCA techs in my patch of the world who was rushed down there to rip everything out after he just got back 3 weeks later.
Seven’s new Melbourne facility
Found this old video going through my playlists the other day. Thought I’d share it here as many may not have seen it!
It’s a video of Foxtel’s playout from around 2005(?) showing an ad campaign roadblock across all of their O&O channels. Judging by the response from playout crew it must have been quite a rare thing to see, at least back then.
Still up for lease?
I believe so.
